Clever Lyrics

Crush my only nerve
Overstate what you deserve
Crawling on the floor
One can see under the door

You're so clever, you never
Said we would last forever
I twist it, I missed it
Can't keep this thing together

Said hey, no way
Can't deal with this today
Yes I guess you're so clever

Crack your ready whip
Gentlemen shoot from the hip
Throw my fears away
I can't afford them anyway

You're so clever, you never
Said we would last forever
I twist it, I missed it
Can't keep this thing together

Said hey, no way
Can't deal with this today
Yes I guess you're so clever
You're so clever, you never
Said we would last forever
I twist it, I missed it
Can't keep this thing together

Said hey, no way
Can't deal with this today
Yes I guess you're so clever

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
